cement creepy cryptids dark fantasy horror monsters mystery paranormal scary supernatural thriller

Lisa Gaunt does not believe in the supernatural. Her understanding of the world around her is based on observed phenomena, not what she might want to believe, so when her best friend drafts her into a cryptid hunting club, it's all she can do to show up to the first meeting.

She doesn't find any cryptids on that first foray into the woods, but she does find something that doesn't make sense. And the further she follows that thread in search of answers, the more it undercuts her disciplined view of reality.

What is the Liminal? What are the other members of Cryptid Club hiding? What are the things she sees in the shadowed corners of abandoned thoroughfares? And why is a broken watch steadily counting down the time regardless of what she does to it?

Lisa has a feeling that she'll get her answers one way or another once it hits zero.

The Guardian by Mackiecam

When Julianna was four, she witnessed her mother murdered in a mugging gone wrong, a murder that her guardian angel wasn't able to stop. However, during that encounter, her guardian angel created a connection with her, a connection that meant that he could walk in her dreams, monitor her emotions, and talk to her telepathically. The catch? She couldn't know of Seth's identity outside her mind until she was twenty-one. Fourteen years later, she was a recovering alcoholic who self-harmed as a method of controlling her emotions. She hates herself, both for the fact that she's an alcoholic as well as because she can't remember anything at all about her mother. Everything comes to a head when Julianna is drugged against her will at a party, and with Seth's support she learns to protect herself and to act in a self-supportive manner. I will try to publish a chapter a day to give people a good chance to comment on the book.

The Silent Shadows by Chercher246

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

The Clockwork Killer ✓ by Squirtle301

Highest ranking: #404 in Mystery/Thriller ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ "Choose." I heard the gun cock against Georgie's head. She suddenly screamed, "No! Luna! You can't choose me over you! Save yourself!" The killer said, "Silence," and Georgie obeyed, but I had heard her. "Choose, or I'll choose for you." The murderer made a point of pressing the muzzle harder into Georgie's temple. I looked into my best friend's deep brown eyes. I knew what I had to do. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ NOTE: This was my first book on Wattpad, so it's not great. The plot is unoriginal and it starts out boring but I somehow managed to save it in the last 3 or so chapters. Read at your own risk of cringing so hard your head will fall off.

The nightmares are getting more and more vivid as she watches them unfold every night. She can't stand the feeling of helplessness she has to live with now. The jumping at every shadow behind her, the fear of the dark and what lurks inside it, the dread that never leaves, the horror that awaits her every time she drifts off to sleep. Alexis wants it all to stop. But maybe with the Winchester's here to help her, like she's there to help them, it won't be that bad. Or will the shadows overtake Alexis? Will she drown in the darkness? Will that one light that she has burn out? Or will she make it through these dark times? And how is she sure better times wait ahead? Are there? DISCLAIMER: I do not own supernatural, all rights go to Eric Kripke. I only own Alexis and her plotlines, also a few other characters that aren't in the show.
